ROME -- In a ceremony marred by news of the possible killing of one of four Italians held hostage in Iraq, Italy's top movie prizes, the David di Donatello awards, were awarded Wednesday night in Rome. Marco Tullio Giordana's La Meglio Gioventu (Best of Youth), a boxoffice hit about the lives of two Roman brothers, won the David for best film, director, screenplay, producer, editing and sound. Salvatore Mereu, a young filmmaker from Sardinia, won the debut director award for Ballo a Tre Passi (Three-Step Dance), a film based on four true interconnected stories about life in Sardinia.
